Top 7th - Danielle Sullivan is looking to finish out this game, and extend the Turners Falls dynasty another year. Pioneer's Francesca Palazzo pounds the ball to deep center field, bouncing on the warning track.

Alyssa Shephard then works a walk off. Two on, one out for Sarah Greenwood, who cracks a sharp single into left. It's not deep enough to score the runner from 2nd, though, so the bases are loaded with one out for Pioneer's Sarah Payant. High drama! A base hit here, and this game gets real interesting! Payant hits a grounder to 2nd, and though she appears to be out at first, the umpire rules that the first baseman pulled her foot off the bag! Unbelievable!
